You will have two primary markets. The first are canned hunts where you sell trophies to hunters for five to twenty thousand dollars. Bowhunters like the illusion of being locked in a 40 acre pen and shooting the big one. The second are the Chinese, which you will saw off the horns in blood velvet, take them to Chicago and sell them to buyers there for cash. Both are a bit iffy with this pandemic changing the world. Animals lose their allure for most with all the testing, licenses and their being not much more than an east coast beef operation.

All of the deer and elk farms I knew about near me are now gone due to the state of Ohio's draconian laws, that were intentionally designed to drive the deer and elk farms out of business. Keith
